Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

The problem

Mrs. Hanley had an attic that wasn't enough insulated. There were less than 10 in. of cellulose fibers in her attic which was equivalent to an R-38 value. The air circulation was almost non-existent which made the attic very humid.

The solution

Remove the cellulose, seal air leaks on the attic floor such as seams and holes with our polyurethane foam, add ventilation mats to improve air circulation, and then blow a little over 16" of cellulose fibers.

When mold started to form in his attic, our client contacted us as he was concerned about the potential health risks and damage to his home. We safely removed the old, rotting insulation before neutralizing all the mold spores present in the attic. Next, we sealed all identified air leaks, using our high-quality ZypFoam to ensure a perfect seal. Finally, we installed the new cellulose insulation, ensuring it reached the desired R60 thermal value. This high level of insulation would significantly improve the attic’s thermal performance.

Our client had not inspected their attic for a long time and was sure there were problems. Our specialist explained to the client that this was a consequence of air leaks from multiple sources, such as the space around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and holes for wires and pipes. The result was an annoying draft within the house.

We removed the old insulation and sealed all the air leaks. Then, we blew our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the attic to achieve an R60 thermal value.

This attic had an inadequate amount of insulation, and the client preferred to call in a professional to ensure an effective solution.Our team of workers removed the existing insulation to seal all the holes where air was escaping. Additionally, we blew about 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.

The problem: When we've inspected this attic. Jerry our home comfort specialist found that this attic has not enough fiberglass and they were quite a bit of condensation on the ceiling roof. The client has noticed this, too, and wanted to change this factor. 

The solution: To resolve this problem, we have removed all the old fiberglass and seal off all the leaking cracks with our expendable foam named Zypfoam. This helps reduces by a lot the risk of air leaking. After, we blew 16 inches of our TruSoft cellulose to achieve R60 of value.
